Chapter 412: Chapter 0412: Besties
Qin Muge trembled violently, her face flickering between shades of pale and flushed as her breathing became extremely rapid.
Any affection she had felt for Ye Xunhuan vanished in an instant!
He was infuriating, absolutely infuriating.
"I can clearly make a living with my talent, so why should I rely on my looks?"
"Ye Xunhuan, you..."
"Don’t be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil!" Ye Xunhuan, seeing the murderous look in Qin Muge’s eyes, shuddered slightly, "This is a hospital, Qiu Ruo is recuperating, it’s not good to make a scene..."
"I won’t make a scene, I’ll just go straight to physical action!"
As she spoke, Qin Muge grabbed her LV handbag and smashed it across Ye Xunhuan’s face.
But how could Ye Xunhuan let her hit him? He dodged to the side in a flash.
"Stay and face me, don’t run!"
"If you tell me to stay, I should just stay? Who do you think you are?"
"If you’re a man, don’t run!"
"If I’m a man, why don’t we check into a hotel and find out..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze landed directly on Qin Muge.
When Qin Muge heard what Ye Xunhuan said and felt his sleazy, sinister gaze, her heart began to race again like a frightened rabbit, chaotically pounding inside her.
"Okay, you two, stop messing around!" Qiu Ruoxi interjected, unable to restrain herself.
She had been living with Ye Xunhuan for the latter half of the year and knew him better than Qin Muge did. In a battle of words, Qin Muge was certainly no match for him.
Qiu Ruoxi’s intervention made Qin Muge reluctantly stop, but not without snorting coldly and throwing a warning glance at Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing that Qin Muge had calmed down, Ye Xunhuan asked softly, "How did you two meet? During school?"
"We weren’t in the same school."
"Then you..."
"We met chatting online," Qin Muge explained.
"What, you two are Internet friends?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Qin Muge and Qiu Ruoxi with a surprised face.
"Yeah, we met online and became friends while chatting," Qin Muge summarized simply.
Ye Xunhuan looked at Qiu Ruoxi.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s inquiring gaze, Qiu Ruoxi nodded, confirming that Qin Muge was telling the truth.
This made Ye Xunhuan exclaim in amazement. He really hadn’t expected that these two women had met online and even became friends, of all things.
Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Muge knew each other from a forum, where both, still students, naturally followed many forums.
The two met in a thread on economic academia and found themselves largely agreeing on many topics, which prompted them to add each other as friends and discuss various subjects.
Qiu Ruoxi? She was not much of a talker, but she was good at online communication, so it wasn’t long before she and Qin Muge became close friends, even confidantes!
They even met in person, and their relationship grew even stronger. Even when Qin Muge went to study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, they never lost touch.
Now, Qin Muge had turned down numerous lucrative and enviable positions at multinational corporations to come to the Imperial Group solely out of loyalty, though she also saw the promising and expansive future of the group!
Imperial Group was involved in online shopping as well as dipping into fashion media.
In China, although there were many online shopping sites, very few grew to be big players. It was a huge opportunity that could yield massive profits.
Moreover, in this era of the Internet, many people, including the young and middle-aged, opt for shopping online, so the market potential was massive, which was something Qin Muge was very optimistic about.
Upon her arrival at Imperial Group, she and Qiu Ruoxi teamed up to jointly develop and build other emerging industries!
For example, collaborating with Su Guyan on the racetrack!
There’s not another club like this in the whole city of Jiangzhong. If done right, it would definitely be an immense source of wealth.
Of course, all this is predicated on the friendship between the two. Although the prospects for the Emperor Group are very promising, how many people will actually gamble with you?
Ye Xunhuan never expected that the woman he hooked up with at the bar, turned out to be his wife’s best friend!
If Qiu Ruoxi ever found out...
Just thinking about it made Ye Xunhuan’s groin feel ice-cold, although Qiu Ruoxi didn’t care about his affairs outside, even if she knew he was seeing other women, she’d turn a blind eye— but Qin Muge was her best friend, not like the other women!
Such dramatic things happen every year, but this year, it happens a lot more!
"So you guys never suspected that one of you was a man..."
"Ye Xunhuan, stop sullying everyone with your filthy thoughts," Qin Muge snorted coldly.
"What filthy thoughts? Tell me..."
"You know exactly what they are."
Ye Xunhuan chuckled and said no more.
"Hey, are you leaving or not?" Qin Muge looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Ruoxi needs her rest!"
"Not leaving. It’s the perfect time to deepen a relationship in the still of the night, only a fool would leave!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Leave if you want!"
"I’m not leaving either!"
"You... what are you going to do?"
"I’m going to stay with Ruoxi, to prevent you from taking advantage of her at this time!" Qin Muge declared with a heroic spirit of staking all for her best friend!
Qin Muge knew that Ye Xunhuan had connections that got him in with Qiu Ruoxi, so naturally, she wasn’t as fearful of Qiu Ruoxi as the other Emperor Group employees.
This could be seen from her usual behavior at work.
Seeing that Qin Muge wasn’t leaving, Ye Xunhuan felt a surge of frustration.
"You really want to stay?"
"Of course!"
"Fine, you stay with Director Qiu then, I’m going to sleep!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Qin Muge was stunned. What kind of act was this jerk trying to pull?
"You... you said..."
"Yeah, I thought about staying, but if you are staying, what’s the point of me staying?" Ye Xunhuan slowly said, "You don’t expect me to develop a relationship with both of you, do you?"
Qin Muge stared at Ye Xunhuan, dumbfounded, unable to keep up with his wildly imaginative thoughts!
His thought process did jump quite rapidly.
"Director Qin, take good care of Qiu Ruoxi, I’m leaving now, bye!" Ye Xunhuan waved at Qin Muge.
Just then, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The next moment, Wang Ma walked in.
Seeing Wang Ma, Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he started praying that Wang Ma wouldn’t call him son-in-law.
Qin Muge was not like Xu Mingzhe, knowing about Xu Mingzhe didn’t matter, they could just fight it out and see who would get taken down!
Qin Muge had been with him, and there was some bullshit agreement with Longzu Bodhi!
If Qin Muge found out that he and Qiu Ruoxi were married...
